Pros

As noted elsewhere, Battelle is its employees. Talented, in many cases selfless, and always ready to help, I was humbled to work with such great people. And Battelle does many, many interesting things. Professionally I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

There is no career path. The overwhelming feeling in the present culture is if you stay around long enough you will eventually be let go. Pay was never all that competitive with other contracting companies, but the benefits were really good. That is changing rapidly. Hmm let see: no career path, so-so pay, benefits worse by the month, and the constant threat of layoffs. No wonder Battelle is losing talent left and right.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
